I think you should start your approach right after the ball leaves the setters hands. Your first step goes toward the general direction the ball is going to be hit, your next step finds the ball and your final step explodes into it. This is assuming you are hitting a high outside (or weak-side) set on the net. Your approach is going to be different if you are hitting out of the middle or the backrow or are hitting a shoot or a hut.

If you wait for the ball to be at the top of its trajectory I think it will be difficult to approach, jump and swing and put the ball away. You won't have enough time.
